The Situation & Problem

In many manufacturing facilities, outdated equipment can significantly hinder productivity and efficiency. In this case, the factory operates an old packing line that lacks automation capabilities. The line includes several critical components: a coil turnstile, coil downender, conveyor systems, and a coil stacking machine. However, the packing process is primarily manual, particularly in the coil strapping and packing stages, which consumes considerable time and labor resources.

A significant issue arises with the manual handling of the coil downender. Workers are required to lift coils manually, which can lead to misactions—especially when handling narrow coils. The lifter does not have a mechanism to verify the width of the coil, resulting in instances where two coils are lifted simultaneously. This not only increases the risk of accidents but also compromises the integrity of the coils and slows down the overall packing process.

To address these challenges, a comprehensive upgrade plan focusing on automation is proposed. The solution involves implementing several new automated systems designed to enhance efficiency, improve safety, and reduce labor costs.

1. Automatic Coil Downender The new automatic coil downender is engineered for reliable performance, capable of handling coils with a minimum width of 10mm. This system integrates a precise control mechanism that ensures accurate lifting and positioning of coils with encoder and servo system. By automating this process, the risks associated with manual handling are eliminated, significantly reducing the chances of misactions and injuries. The control system features advanced sensors that can accurately detect coil dimensions, preventing the lifting of multiple coils at once.

2. Automatic Slit Coil Strapping Machine The installation of an automatic slit coil strapping machine revolutionizes the packing process. This machine utilizes a steel belt with a width of 12mm and is equipped with a 360-degree turntable and an automatic strapping head. The automation of the strapping process allows for faster and more consistent application of straps, enhancing the overall productivity of the packing line. One strap takes 18 sec. only. The machine's design ensures that coils are securely strapped without manual intervention, further reducing the time taken for packing.The successful strapping rate upto 99.5% .

3. Automatic Coil Wrapping Machine Complementing the strapping machine, the automatic coil wrapping machine provides two layers of protection for the coils. One layer is paper, one layer is stretch film. This machine wraps coils in protective material with sealed packaging that is water proofed. It ensuring they are safeguarded against environmental factors during transit and storage. By automating the wrapping process, the facility can maintain a consistent quality of packaging, which is crucial for preserving the integrity of the coils.

4. Automatic Steel Coil Pallet Strapping Machine For the effective management of palletized coils, the automatic steel coil pallet strapping machine can handle a maximum loading capacity of 6T per pallet. This machine utilizes four belts for strapping coils with the pallet, ensuring that the entire load is securely bound for transport. The use of PET strapping material with a width of 16mm provides excellent strength and reliability. This system streamlines the final packaging process, allowing for quick and efficient preparation of coils for shipment.

5. Modified Control System To ensure seamless integration between the new machinery and the existing equipment, a modified control system will be implemented. This new programming system will connect the old machines with the newly acquired automated systems, providing a unified interface for operators. Additionally, a remote control system will facilitate online troubleshooting and maintenance, allowing technicians to address issues quickly without the need for on-site visits. The modified control system will also enable information transfer with upstream systems, ensuring that coil specifications and production data are accurately communicated throughout the manufacturing process.

Upgrading the coil packing line with these automated solutions presents a significant opportunity for the factory to enhance its operational efficiency and safety. By transitioning from manual processes to automated systems, the facility can expect substantial reductions in labor costs, increased packing speed, and improved product quality. The implementation of an automatic coil downender, strapping and wrapping machines, and a modified control system addresses the existing challenges while paving the way for a more streamlined and effective coil handling process.
